Re: SanDisk Clip Sport Firmware 1.43 released

Hello there, these updates are greatly appreciated, however, I'd like to ask if some future updates will address some functionality issues which others have already raised and I am also experiencing with my Clip Sport.

1 - Any chance that the content in the Clip Sport's internal storage, and that on the the SD card can be merged, as they were on the Clip+? I cannot imagine that anyone would want to have internal and external content displayed seperately.

2 - Any chance that the Clip Sport can have the gapless playback functionality which I also enjoyed on the Clip+? I listen to a lot of albums which require gapless playback and the lack of this feature is a bit of a pain.

It would be useful to have a dedicated "Play All" option (perhaps right next to "Shuffle"). It seems bizarre that the Clip Sport is missing some kind great features from previous versions of the Clip. Right now, if you want to listen an entire album in order, for example, a similar effect can be accomplished by playing the first song in the album, hitting Menu button, then setting Repeat to "All" and Shuffle to "Off".
